When The Past Comes Back
Chase drove to the apartment building and parked. Everyone got out and the guys began to unload the suitcases. Michael told the girls to go and open the door so they could get in. It wasnt that hard of a task to get everything up the two story apartment, and once they were done they sat on the couch and relaxed a bit.
"So? Where are we going to sleep?". Logan asked a bit frustrated.
"Well? Since Zoey and Chase are now an engaged couple. I was thinking that he can sleep on Zoeys room. Me and Lola can share her room and you can bump in with Michael".
"That sounds fair". Lola agreed.
"What!? But we're a couple too. Why cant Lola go and sleep with Michael". Logan whined.
Lola shifted from the couch and turned to see Logan.
"Because, its my room you incredibly... incredibly moron! Im just not going to give my room up only because you dont feel comfortable with Michael". Lola explained.
"And if you have a problem you can sleep on the couch". Michael added some what hurt.
Logan looked at the both of them and heavily sighted.
"Okay, I'll sleep in Michaels room'.
Suddenly someone began to knock uncontrollably on the door.
"Are we expecting someone?". Quinn asked and Zoey, Michael, and Lola shrugged. Michael stood up and went to see who was at the door.
"Um Zoey? Someone looking for you?". Michael said and Zoey and the rest turned to see him. He made eyes at the door and she immediately knew what he was telling her. She stood up and turned to see Chase who was looking at his phone.
"Chase? Baby? Can you help me put our suitcases to my room?". Zoey sweetly asked.
"Sure?". Chase said as he stood up and placed his phone on his pocket. "Where's your room?". He asked
"Go that way, make a left and its going to the first door on your left". Zoey instructed. He nodded and grabbed his and her suitcases and began heading towards the hallway. When he was out of sight she and Lola rushed to the door.
"Zoey!". The guy shouted and hugged her.
She shoved him away amd he looked confused.
"What are you doing here Brian". Zoey whispered annoyed.
"Good to see you too?". Brian sarcastically asked. "I found out you just got here from L.A and I wanted to see if you wanted to, you know? Go out and have a little fun".
"I cant". Zoey said as she looked back, just to make sure Chase was still inside her room. "Now if you'll exuse me...". She said as she began to close the door, but he stopped her.
"Come om Zoey? Dont be a party pooper and come with me!". Brian annoying begged.
Lola appeared behind Zoey, placing her hands on her shoulders.
"She can't because her boyfriend is here. Or might I say fiance now". Lola confessed and Zoey pushed her aside. Brian brust in laughing.
"Really? You got hooked up? With who?". Briam asked, but before Zoey could respond she heard someone call her name.
"Hey Zo? Do you have a charger I can borrow? I think I forgot mine back at Alan's". Chase said heading toward the living room.
Brian gasped and smirked.
"Matthews!? You got engaged to Matthews? I thought you were over him, when you cheated on him with me". Brian said.
Michael stepped away from the door and Lola and Zoey turned back to see Chase who looked furious.
Zoey walked up to him and grabbed his arm.
"Chase lets go find you that charger". She said pulling him towards the hallway, but he stopped her.
"No, I have some stuff to talk with your ex boyfriend". Chase said as he made his way to the doorway. Zoey sighted and follow him close behind.
"Should we take this talk to the hallway?". Chase offered and Brian smirked and stepped aside.
"Wait!". Zoey stopped them. "If, you're going talk, talk right here. I dont want you two talking alone. Especially you". Zoey said as she looked at Chase.
"Okay". Brian agreed. "Whatever". He crossed his arms as he looked at Chase.
"I see you came to see Zoey, but guess what? She's with me now, so why dont you run along and leave her alone". Chase said and Brian laughed and looked down.
"Remember, when she cheated on you with me back when we attended PCA? Does were some good times, weren't they". Briam said looking back up at Chase.
"Brian! Drop the subject would you?". Lola said annoyed.
"Why are you bringing that up! That was a long time ago". Zoey agued.
"Yeah? But... Some things cant be forgotten easily, I'snt that right Chase?". Brian asked Chase as he looked down. Brian smiled and stepped back.
"When she told you those excuses about going to the library or having to much homework. You had no idea of how much fun we were having". Brian teased and Chase snapped. He looked back up at him and grabbed him by the collar.
"Shut it Lancaster!". Chase shouted. Zoey and Lola placed a gentle hand on Chase's shoulder.
"Chase? Let him go". Zoey whispered on his ear. At first he refused, but slowly managed to let him go. Brian fixed his jacket and once again smiled. He saw that Zoey was whispered something in his ear, but Chase's focus was on him.
"I can see in your eyes that the memory still hurts". Brian said and Zoey stopped whispering and Chase breathed in, to calm his anger down. "I still remember her kisses". Brian again teased, touching his lips. "Unforgettable moments".
Logan, who was watching everything from the couch looked away and whispered to Quinn.
"Brian is dead".
Quinn turned back to the doorway and saw that Chase unexpectedly punch him on the face. Lola and Zoey gasped as Brian stumbled back. Zoey held Chase back as Brian touched the side of his mouth and saw blood coming out.
"Cant handle the truth Matthews? Lets take it outside! Come on!". Brian angrily pushed him back, but before Chase could do something, Michael intercepted pushing Brian back.
"Brian! Go. We dont want any problems". Michael told him.
"Step aside Barrett! Lets go Chase! Lets fix things like a man!". Brian yelled and Chase looked back at Zoey.
"You have two choises. To go with him or stay here, with me and your friends. So... What's your choise?". Zoey asked and Chase looked back at Brian. He had the urge to fight with him and to punch him so hard that he'll forget who he was, but that wouldn't look good on him.
Zoey extented her hand for him to grab and he gave her a small smile and accepted.
"Come on! Your going to listen to her!?".
"I think I am". Chase said as he looked at Zoey. "She's the love of my life and your just you, so I guess I've made my decision". Chase said as he and Zoey stepped back from the door. Michael pushed him back and pointed at him with a serious look, telling him to stay back.
"Bye Brian". Michael said as he slamed the door on his face. He turned around and smiled.
"That felt good".
Lola smiled and pushed him towards the couch, leaving Zoey and Chase still standing.
Zoey turned to see him and saw that he was lost in thought. She felt him sad, and saw that he was trying to contain the tears.
"Chase?". Zoey asked.
He looked at her and shook his head.
"Zoey? Sorry, but I need to be alone for a while". Chase said as he let go of her hand and headed straight to the bathroom. Zoey sighted and began heading his way, until Lola stopped her.
"Zo?". She asked and Zoey turned Around. "Let him be alone. I think he needs it".
"But, we're engaged". Zoey said showing them her hand that showed her ring. "His problems are my problems, I need to be there with him". Zoey argued.
"Zoey, come and sit over here". Michael said and Zoey sighted heavily as she made her way to the couch and sat next to Lola.
Michael cleared his throat as he began to speak.
"I've known Chase my whole childhood, and what I can tell you is that he's very good in keeping his real feelings inside. Like the crush he had on you when you fisrt meet him for example. You never noticed a thing. When you got together with James, he pretended to be okay when we video chatted, but you never saw how devastated he was when you said "Okay well, I'll talk with you soon, I have a date with James and I dont want to keep him waiting". Michael mocked a girly voice in representation of Zoeys voice. She rolled her eyes and Michael continued.
"When you two got together, that was the most special day for him. We just couldn't shut him up about it. But when he found out you cheated on him, he completely lost it. He never thought you from all people, would do something like that to him. Now he's trying so hard to leave his addictions behind, so he can be himself again. He's doing this because of you, but now that Brian comes and places that memory in his mind again, he needs time alone. You know why? So he can tell himself that what happen in the past, is history and that what matters the most, is what happens from now on". Michael explained amd everyone was shocked on how well he explained all.
"You think so?". Zoey asked.
"I know so. Hes my best friend for god sake! I know the guy, and know he's not going to leave you for something he's finally getting over".
Suddenly Chase came out to the living room and grabbed his keys.
"I have to go".
Zoey widen his eyes and quicky stood up as well as the rest. Quinn, Logan and Zoey, headed towards him, while Lola slapped Michael on the head.
"He's never going to leave! He's finally placed the past behind!". Lola told him as she stood up. He scratched his head and stood next to her.
"He's not". Michael assured her.
He looked back at Chase. "Your not, right?"
Chase gave him a comfused smile.
"What are you talking about?".
"Your leaving because of what Brian said?". Lola asked more like a question.
Chase smiled widely covering his face.
"I'm not leaving". Chase stated.
"Your not?". Zoey asked.
"Why would I? I mean, I came a long way to be with you". Chase told her. She smiled at him and kissed him.
"So where were you going?". Logan asked.
"I wanted to go outside, breath the fresh air and just clear my mind". Chase replied going towards the door.
"But what if Brian is still waiting outside?". Zoey said which received a nod from Lola and Michael.
"That's a possibility". Lola agreed.
"Then well go with him. Me and Logan, right?". Michael asked Logan and he nodded.
"Yeah? A clear of mind would help me too". Logan said as he grabbed his jacket.
"Okay. You guys do that, while we make coffee and have our girl talk". Quinn said as she kissed Logan's cheek. Lola then intertwined arms with Quinn as they walked towards the kitchen. Chase looked back at Zoey and both of them leaned in, sharing a sweet kiss.
"I'll be back in a minute". He said.
"Okay, but don't stay out too long. I really want to be with you". Zoey told him and he leaned down to place a kiss on her forehead.
"Don't worry Zoey". Michael said grabbing Chase by the shoulders. "We'll bring him back safe and sound". He said as he dragged Chase out the apartment. Logan turned to see Zoey and waved as he closed the door behind him.
The guys exited the building and went towards the parking lot. It was a cloudy, cold night. Chase rubbed his hands together to keep warmth, as well as Michael. Logan in the other hand, grabbed his cigarette pack from his jacket and offer the guys one.
"Want one?".
Chase and Michael accepted. Logan then took some matches to light his cigarette up. He then passed the matches to Michael and he passed them to Chase.
They all breathed in, and let the smoke come out.
"That stuff Brian told you, really got to you didn't?". Michael asked.
Chase placed his cigarette back in his mouth and smoked.
"It did. Its a hard image to get rid off, more if the person who reminds you was the protagonist of the whole story". Chase said as he looked up at the sky.
"Whats going to take for you to finally get rid of that memory?". Logam asked.
"I dont know. I guess something very, very, very special has to happen. Something that would make that memory be just a bad dream". Chase explained.
"How about your engagement? That's gotta be something speacial to you?". Michael pointed out.
"Yeah, that was special, but it's not strong enough. I know I'm getting married with the girl of my dreams, but the engagement its still not strong enough to wipe that thing that happen between Zoey and Brian away".
"Maybe when the actual wedding is happening, you seeing her in white, finally having her as your wife. Maybe that would be a strong reason to forget what happen, with you know who". Logan suggested and Chase gave him a small smile.
"Yeah, maybe that can be the moment". Chase thoughtfully said.
Just then someone appeared being some bushes.
"I knew you had to come out sometime". Brian smirked
Michael and Logan rolled thier eyes, while Chase turned around to face him.
"Brian? Just leave us the hell alone!". Logan said annoyingly.
Brian igonored him and turned to see Chase.
"Ready to settle our differences once and for all". Brian asked as he rolled his sleeves.
"No, Brian". Michael stepped in. "Theres going to be no fight".
"Is that so? Well what if i say something that changes otherwise?". Brian challenged with a smirk.
"Nothing you say, can change my mind". Chase said crossing his arms.
"Lets see. What if I tell you that me and your lovely fiance had... I don't know... Sex? And she's really good at that too".
Chase, Logan and Michael gasped. They turned to look at Chase who was now furious. He shook his head as he launched at him. Logan and Michael quickly grabbed him from the back.
"Chase! Don't!". Michael told him.
"He's lying". Logan assured. He then turned to see Brian who has smiling. "Your lying! Tell him!".
"No! Everything I said is true! I remember how with just one touch, I sat her skin on fire". Brian yelled.
"Shut up!". Michael yelled trying to hold Chase back with the help of Logan. But they couldn't. Chase broke free and pushed Brian down on the concrete. They wrestle for a little while. Brian threw a nasty punch on Chase's eye and mouth. Chase in the other hand, did the same, but continuously.
"Chase!". Michael shouted.
"Go and separate them!". Logan asked Ponting at Chase and Brian.
"Me!? You mean the both of us. Help me". Michael said.
"What if I get punch in the eye? I can't risk anything happening to this face". Logan argued.
Michael rolled his eyes and grabbed Logan by his jacket, leading him towards the fight. Michael grabbed Chase and Logan grabbed Brian, separating them.
"Hey!". Someone suddenly said. Everyone froze and looked at where the voice seem to come from.
"Guys!? What's going on here?".
Michael turned to look at each other stunned. Logan leaned in, and whispered to Michael.
"Is that Vince Blake?". He asked.
"I think so". Michael whispered back
Vince walked towards them. He recognized, Michael, Logan, Chase and.
"Brian Lancaster? What are you doing here". Vince asked confused.
"None of your bussiness Blake!". Brian growled.
Vince smiled. He then turned to see Chase who tried to get off Michael's grip.
"Chase? I see you finally got to kick Brian's butt once and for all".
"I'm still not done yet". Chase angrily said.
"Well, why dont you? Michael let him go, come on". Vince said.
"Are you insane!? He'll kill him!". Michael said, looking at Vince as if he was insane.
"Thats what you think! I can take Matthews! Lets go! Come on!". Brian challenged as he struggled to get free from Logan.
"You think so uh? Let's go to that alley over there". Vince said as he leaded the way.
Michael let go of Chase and Logan let go of Brian as they followed Vince.
"Logan! We need to do something!". Michael said.
"But what?". Logan questionably asked.
Michael shrugged and both of them rushed towards the alley.
"Okay". Vince started "You guys are going to fight it off, until one of you can't fight anymore, ready?".
"Vince!?". Michael asked afraid.
"Go!". Vince ordered and both guys began punching each other.
Brian jerked back, aside. The blow meant for his jaw whizzed by in a blur of knuckles. From the corner of his eye, he saw Chase other arm begin an upward trajectory. He ducked this time, and felt his hair ruffle with the force of it.
Drop to the floor. Roll clear, stand. Don't let him connect. Draw it
Chase charged with a roar like a bull. Brian sidestepped, whirled to face him. Chase lunged. He avoided one flying fist, only to collide with another in the face. Brian fell to the floor, but quickly stood up and launched at Chase.
The blow glanced off his ribcage, a sharp sting fading fast. In front of him, Brian grinned and jabbed again at his midsection.
Avoidance was simple, but it couldn't last forever. Minutes passed with no contact, and Chase felt pressure emanating from all sides, a nearly audible chant: punch-kick-strike-hurt.
Chase went on the offensive. He lashed out, aiming for Brian's gut. Brian proved equally effective at defense, and Chases fist met a meaty forearm. He tried again with both hands-one-two, Harley's technique-and this time connected.
Michael leaned closer to Vince who smiled at Brian who was now on the floor while Chase was punching him constantly on the face.
"Why are you letting them do this?". He asked.
"Because". Vince said as he turned his attention to Michael. "He ruined Chase amd Zoeys relationship, and I think Chase deserves to kick his ass". Vince stopped as he and Michael turned to look at Logan who was making hurtful faces as he saw Chase continue to punch an almost unconscious Brian.
Vince then turned to look at Michael.
"And he owes me. He got my sister pregnant and doesnt want to make himself responsable. I heard he was looking for Zoey in this area and see, I found him".
Michael looked back at Brian who was now unconscious.
"Why don't we stop Chase now". Michael said Ponting to Brian.
"You think so? I think we should let Chase beat him to death". Vince suggested.
Michael shook his head in disagreement and motioned Logan to come and help him. They both grabbed Chase from the back and pulled him off Brian.
"Okay Chase I think that's enough". Logan said.
Chase was seriously hurt. His eye was a little red and was dripping blood from the side. He also had some blood on the side of his mouth, and his left ribcage hurt.
"Is he alive!?". Michael asked and Vince knelt down where Brian was. He checked his pulse and nodded.
"Yeah. Unfortunately he's still alive". Vince sighted as he stood up and all four guys looked down at Brian, who slowly began to move.
"Look!". Michael tugged on Chases jacket. "Hes regaining consciousness".
Brian open his eyes and turned to see the guys standing over him. His vision was a bit blury but in a couple of minutes everything was clear.
"Who are you all?". Brian asked confused.
"You want me to remind you who you are?". Vince said as he raised his fist, but Logan, lowered it down.
"Wait! I don't think he's joking". Logan said as they all looked at Brian more closely.
"Um? Are you guys going to help me remember or are you going to stare at me all night?". Brian asked confused.
"Well?". Michael began, but Vince quickly interrupted.
"We... Were walking by the alley and we saw this man hitting you, so this guy here...". Vince grabbed Chase by the arm a little too rough. He grunted as Vince continued talking.
"Came in here and fought the guy. That's why he's all brused up".
Brian looked at Chase, who rolled his eyes as he looked away.
"Thank you". Brian gratefully thanked.
Vince smiled, nudging Chase on his injured rib, which made him grunt again.
"No problem". Chase managed to say as he held his ribcage.
Brian turned to see Vince.
"So, who are you then?". He asked and Vince replied.
"I'm your brother in law. I got some of my friends to come and find you, since you never came from the grocery store, until we found you here. Your wife if worried sick, so we should get you home". Vince said as he helped Brian stand up. He wrapped Brian's arm over his shoulder as he leaded him out of the alley.
"Thank you guys! I'll see you later". Vince yelled as he dissapear at the curve.
Logan and Michael helped Chase get out of the alley. They stopped at the parking lot as they saw Vince leave in a taxi.
After he left another taxi stoped in front of them and were surprised to see who got out of the taxi
"Dustin!?". Logan and Michael asked surprised.
"Hey guys?". Dustin said as he approach them.
He immediately noticed Chase's injuries. "Chase!? What happen to you!?". He asked but before Chase could reply, the taxi man interrupted them.
"Young man! Are you going to pay or what?". He said as he got out of his taxi. "Come on!? I got the meter running!".
Dustin turned to see Michael, Logan and Chase with puppy eyes. Dustin wrapped his arm around the man as they both smiled at the trio.
"Please guys". Dustin please.
Chase rolled his eyes began taking his wallet out, keeping his balance on Michael. "How much?". Chase asked.
"60 bucks". The man said.
"Sixty!?". Michael surprisingly said.
"Its a one hour drive to get here from the airport". The man added.
Chase sighted as he handed the man sixty dollars. He accepted the money and kissed it. He then pushed Dustin aside as he got on his taxi and drove off.
"Thank you Chase". Dustin said as he stopped and saw Chase bloody face.
"What happen to you?". He asked again and Logan smiled.
"He had an encounter with Zoeys ex. He stared reminding Chase about his days with Zoey and so on, so Chase beat him up until he lost consciousness".
"Wow!". Dustin said as he patted his back a bit to hard, which made him grunt.
"And I wonder how you're going to hide this from Zoey". Logan told Chase who gasped realizing that she would be very upset is she found out that he fought Brian.
"That didn't even crossed my mind!?". Chase said freaking out. "What Am I going to do?".
"Calm down Chase. We'll figure something out". Dustin assured.
Michael then snappedd his fingers.
"Make up! Anything can be hidden under the magical powder that is make up". Michael said and everyone seemed pleased.
"Great Idea Michael". Dustin said. "Now the question is, where do we get make-up? We can't go to the girls". He asked and Michael quickly responded.
"Stacy Dillson lives on the first floor of our bulding! She can help us. And you Logan, can help us with by using your charming skills to get it".
Logan made a face
"Why me!?". He whined.
"Because, she still has that crush on you. You see, one day she invited us to have some tea at his apartment, and its filled with posters of you". Michael said, trying to contain a laugh.
Everyone looked at each other, and brust into laughter, except Chase who just smiled.
"Okay, okay. Let's do this then". Chase said and the guys nodded. They headed to the entrance of the building and walked up to room 313 which was Stacys.
"Okay Logan, you do your thing and well wait by the elevator, over there". Michael said and Logan nodded.
"And be quick! We dont want either Zoey, Lola, or Quinn coming out here and finding Chase like this". Dustin said as he eye him.
"I will. Now let the future Reese director do its magic". Logan smiled as he knocked on the door. He waited for a little bit until the door open. Logan smiled as he leaned his arm on the doorway.
"Hey Stacy". He said in a seductive way.
"Logan?". She asked, her eyes glowing.
"Logan Reese!?".
"The only one". Logan smiled and Stacy unexpectedly wrapped her arms around his neck. Logan stumbled back as he caught her.
"Oh My God!?". Stacy siad as she separated from the hug. "What are you doing here? I can help you with anything you want". Stacy said and Logan smirked.
"In fact, I do need your help. You see I'm helping my dad direct a scene, but our make-up artist forgot the make up". Logan said.
"The most important tool". Stacy added.
"Exactly! So I asked the manager of the building for some and she didn't want to help me out so, I been knocking on peoples door to see if I can have some make-up". Logan said and Stacy looked at him in confusion.
"You can go to the store and buy more". She reminded him.
"We send our personal assistant to the store 30 minutes ago and she's still not here". Logan said as he leaned a bit closer to her, causing her to gasp.
"And between me and you. The actor is getting frustrated. So, please can I get some make up? You'll make me very happy if you did".
Stacy smiled as she hugged him tightly again, taking his breath away.
"Anything for you Logan!". She told him she stepped back and ran inside his apartment.
He then shook his head, rolling his eyes as he crossed his arms. He glanced at the rest who gave him the thumbs up. He was about to do the same but Stacy came back, causing him to look at her, with a sweet smile.
"Here". Stacy handed the make-up pouch and Logan grabbed it. "I placed some cotton swabs, just so you can remember me". Stacy whisper and Logan gave her an awkward smile.
"Thanks... I really appreciate you doing this for me".
"Anything Logan, anything for you".
Logan cleared his throat and have her his hand for her to shake.
"Well, I have to go. I'll see you again soon". Logan said and Stacy grabbed his hand and kissed.
"I'll be waiting for that moment". Stacy said as Logan took his hand back and waved goodbye. She waved back and closed the door, giving a loud girly scream.
Logan quicky walked up to the guys and threw Dustin the make up pouch.
"There! And please, don't tell me to use my charm with Stacy again". Logan said as he crossed his arms. They nodded, giving him a smirk as they headed out the bulding and towards Chase's car.
They all got inside the back seat, turned the light on, and began thinking on how to begin to cover Chases injuries.
"We need to cleam your blood off. We dont want to get your bruises infected or something". Michael said.
Logan who was in the passenger seat looked around him, until he found a bottle of hand sanitizer under the seat.
"Can this help?". Logan asked as he showed the little bottle.
"Thats perfect!". Dustin said as he grabbed the bottle and squirted some on his hand.
"Wait a second!". Chase said alarmed. "Your going to put that on my face!?". He asked.
"If you want us to put make up in your face, then we have too Chase". Michael said and Chase just leaned back, closing his eyes.
Dustin grabbed a Kleenex from the pouch and began cleanning Chase's face with the sanitizer. He grunted from the pain, but at the same time he was used to it. He got in alot of fights back in L.A with Harley and his other fiends.
Michael then began to apply the make-up. He covered up all the bruises and cuts. All of this took about 10 minutes, until Michael placed all the make-up back in the pouch and looked at Chase, satisfied with his work.
"There!". Michael said with a smile. "What do you guys think?".
"Looks great!". Dustin said giving two thumbs up.
"The girls won't notice a thing". Logan added.
"Okay. If you guys think I look fine, then lets get going. The girls should be very worry by now". Chase said as the guys nodded and got out the car.
They began to walk towards the building, but noticed that Chase, grunted and struggled to walk.
"Dude?". Logan asked, suddenly stopping. "Are you sure your going to be able to fake not feeling any pain around Zoey?".
"Yeah, of course". Chase said. "You'll see when we get there". He assured and the guys smiled as they got to the elevator and went to up to the second floor. When they got out they headed towards the apartment. Suddenly, when they stood outside the door.
Chase straighten himself and took a deap breath as he placed his hand on the door knob.
"Okay. Lets do this". Chase said as he open the door and entred with the guys following close behind. The girls, who were sitting on the couch, turned around and stood up, walking towards the guys.
"Where were you guys!?". Zoey asked crossing her arms.
"Outside. We just got entertained talking with this guy here". Chase said as he grabbed Dustins arm and pushed him foward.
"Dustin? What are you doing here?". Zoey asked surprised,
"Well. Since I planned the whole reunion between you and Chase, and I didnt even get a goodbye from you guys, I felt it was the right thing to come here and congratulate you on something Alan mentioned when I went looking for you. He said something about a supposedly enganemet between you and Chase?". Dustin said as he smiled and collided on a hug with Zoey.
"Congrats Zoey. I know you'll be happy with this guy". He said as he let go of Zoey and patted Chase's back.
Chase grunted, but manage to give a small smile. Lola and Quinn looked at each other suspiciously. Both girls looked back at Chase as they began to studying him.
"Chase?". Zoey suddenly asked.
"Yeah?". Chase said, looking at her.
"You want to eat dinner before we go to bed?".
"Uh? No. I'm not that hungry". Chase said as he stepped cloer to her.
"Okay. Why don't we head to bed then?".
"Yeah, that'll be nice". Chase said as he grabbed her hand.
"Goodnight everyone. We'll see you tomorrow". Zoey said as she and Chase walked away.
"Night". They all waved as they entered their room, leaving the girls and they guys alone.
Lola and Quinn turned to see the guys with suspiciously, crossing their arms.
"You three!?". Lola said pointing at them. "On the couch now!".
The guys looked at each other confused.
"Why?". Michael asked innocently.
Both girls rolled their eyes and dragged them into the couch. Lola and Quinn stood in front of them as they began questioning them.
"What's up!?". Lola asked.
"What do you mean?". Logan asked, accommodating himself on the couch.
"What happen out there?". Quinn asked.
"We went for some air, and we talked. Thats all". Michael replied.
"What did you guys talk about?". Quinn asked
Logan and Dustin quickly looked over at Michael, wanting him to respond. Michael just gasped at them as he continued.
"Well. First we walked out out the building and to the parking lot. Uh?... We smoked as we...contemplated the beautiful night sky. Then we talked about... Us staring a new life here... About Chase's engagement with Zoey, and some other unimportant guy stuff, Then Dustin came along and we talked some more.". Michael said, getting a little nervous.
"Really?". Lola asked sarcastically. "Thats all?".
All three boys nodded.
Lola and Quinn looked at each other and gave themselves a small smile shaking their heads,
"Do you guys really think were that stupid?". Quinn asked turning back to see them.
The guys looked at each other fully confused.
"Um? We dont think so?". Michael responded, looking at the other two guys for help.
"Look". Lola began. "Just by looking at the three of you, we known that there was a fight, and you all are covering for Chase". Lola stated and the guys looked at her surprise.
"How you know!?". Michael asked without thinking.
Logan and Dustin slapped their foreheads, while the girls smiled.
"Sorry". Michael apologized to the guys.
"How did you figured it out?". Dustin asked.
"By this". Lola replied pointing on their jackets.
Theh looked and saw that they had some blood spots there. They sighted as they looked back at the girls.
"Okay? So what happens now?". Logan asked and the girls looked at each other.
§§§§§§§§
Chase was wide awake while Zoey was fast sleep laying on his chest. He was still thinking on what happen Just a couple of minutes ago. That Image of Zoey with Brian, kept repeating in his mind. He still was in alot of pain, but he decided to keep the incident that happen tonight a secret. For Zoeys own good.
Suddenly there was knocks on the door which startled him and Zoey.
"Zoey!? Can,we come in?". He heard Lola ask.
Zoey who sat up on the bed turning on the side lap as she rubbed her eyes and replied.
"Yeah?".
Lola and Quinn brust inside stopping in front of the bed. Chase was still laying on the bed, looking up at the ceiling, trying to ignore the girls.
"What's going on?". Zoey asked, giving a small yawn.
Quinn walked over to her and grabbed her hand.
"We need to talk". Quinn said as she pulled her out her bed.
"Talk about what?". Zoey asked confused as Quinn guided her out.
Lola looked at Chase who had a lost look on his face, as he continued to stare at the celling. She sighted as he went over to him and without any warning, she grabbed his arm and pulled him up.
"Your coming too Chase". Lola said as Chase painfully grunted.
"Ow! Ow! Ow!".
He managed to stand up as Lola dragged him out of the room and into the living room, where she pushed him down on the couch, along with the other guys. The girls stood in front of the guys and Zoey who was in the middle of the two crossed her arms as she stared at the guys confused.
"Okay? Whats going on?". Zoey asked
"Do we reveal the news or do you?". Lola asked Chase who just stared at her annoyed,
"Okay". Lola began. "He had a fight. With Brian". She confessed
Zoey turned to look at Chase surprised.
Chase quickly turned to see the guys who looked away from him.
"You guys talked!?". He whispered
"We had no choice! They caught us". Dustin whispered back.
"What!? Is this true!?". Zoey asked Chase who turned to look her. It took him a couple of seconds until he nodded.
"Chase". Zoey closed her eyes, clearly disappointed. "You promise me, no more fighting-". Zoey began, but Logan interrupted.
"Wait Zoey. Before you start to yell at Chase. Let me state that he had a very good reason for fighting Brian".
"Really?". Zoey sarcastically said. "And what is it?".
Logan looked at Chase who sighted and looked down.
"Chase?". Logan asked, seeing if he wanted to retale the events that happen, but he just shook his head disappointingly. He sadly looked at him and back at Zoey as he began to talk again
"I'll tell you". Logan said as he cleared his throat. "Now, this is hard for me to tell because I know is going to be uncomfortable for Chase, but you deserve to know what really happen". Logan stopped for a second as Zoey nodded for him to continue.
"We went outside straight to the parking lot. We began talking, when Brian appeared out of nowhere. He then began telling Chase to be a man and fight him. Chase refused, but then Brian crossed the line. He said something that just stunned me, Michael and Chase of course".
"What did he say?". Zoey asked.
"He?". Logan looked at Chase again before continuing. "He said that you and him had... Sex. And that you were really good at it". Logan confessed, which made Zoey and the girls gasped.
"And Chase just snapped, and launched himself towards him. And just to be sincere, If I was him I would have done just the same". Logan added.
"And you believed that!?". Zoey asked Chase who stood up from the couch, grabing his left rib cage on the way up.
"Look, I don't want to talk about it okay". He said as he walked towards the door, grabbing his jacket on the way.
"Chase, you can't run away from this". Zoey said and Chase turned to see her.
"I know I can't". He said as he open the door and walked out. Zoey sighted as she made her way to the door, but Michael stopped her.
"Zoey!". He said as he stood up as well as Logan and Dustin. The girls and Zoey herself were shocked as they saw a serious Michael.
"Get over here and sit down". Michael said as he pointed to the couch.
She looked at the door for a moment, then he looked at Michael as she walked towards the couch and sat down.
"That goes for you two as well". Logan said as he looked at Lola ans Quinn. Both girls looked at him strangely as they sat beside Zoey.
Now the guys were standing in front of them as the girls listened.
"Zoey?". Michael began. "I know that your Chase's fiance, and that his problems are your problems too. I also know that you want to know whats going through his head, but he still needs a little bit of more time for him to completely trust you. I see that you want him to change, just like the Chase we all knew, but you need to understand that, you really hurt him, he changed into someone he would never be in a thousand years but, hey!it happened, and he's trying very hard to change, only for you. And now Brian comes along and puts these memories in his head, and that makes it hard for him to forget". Michael stopped as he looked at Zoey who had her full attention.
After a moment of silence, Zoey sighted nodding.
"Your right. Your absolutely right. He can't change from one day to another and I need to give him his space".
"He loves you Zoey". Logan began. "And everything he does, even the fights he has, it's just his way of showing you how much cares about you, and his way of protecting you, which we know that fighting isn't the smartest way in solving problems, but we known that he'll understand if your right at his side". Logan said.
Zoey smiled at him, but looked down.
"Hey!?". Lola said as she stood up looking at Michael. "What if Brian is out here again? You know how obsessive he's with Zoey".
The guys gave a small chuckle.
"That's not going to be a problem". Micahel askes as he sat next to Zoey.
"Why?". Quinn asked.
"Well". Michael siad "When Brian and Chase began to fight, Vince appeared, apparently looking for Brian. He got Vince's sister pregnant and he didn't want to make himself responsible for the kid, so he left her. Anyways he took Chase and Brian to an alley, and gave them permission to fight it off until one of them fell unconscious. Me and Logan tried to tell Vince it was a bad Idea but he didn't cared. Brian was the one to fall unconscious first, so we dragged an injured Chase away from Brian who was unconscious for about a minute until he woke up and didn't remember who he was, which gave Vince the chance to say that he was his brother in law and that he was being beaten up by some guys until Chase came and you know... Saved his life. Brain, being the stupid guy he is, completely believed him, so that's the story for that". Michael finished explaining.
"Okay, so what do I do now?". Zoey asked.
"Go to your room and wait for him. I'll stay here and wait for him as well. He'll be back soon and if he's not here by midnight, I'll go and look for him". Michael said.
"I'll wait with you too". Logan said but Michael shook his head.
"No. You go to my room and make yourself comfortable. I'll tell you have my room just for tonight".
"You sure? I mean I can-". Logan started but Michael interrupted.
"I'm sure. No offence Logan but Chase trusts me more than you, thats why I want to wait for him".
Logan nodded understanding. He told the girls to also head to their rooms and they agreed.
It was 11:00pm When he was left alone, he turned the tv on and began watching Friday the 13th as he drank a rootbear. After 15 minutes, he was so focus on the movie, he didn't noticed Chase entering. He saw Michael and smiled as he closed the door carefully, without making any noise. He tip toe behind the couch, looking at Michael who was mouth open at what was happening on the tv screen.
Chase suddenly placed his hand on Michael who gasped, almost fainting. Chase began laughing quietly as Michael turned around frustrated by the scare.
"Dude!? You scared the hell out of me!". Michael whispered, punching Chase on the arm, as he sat next to him.
"Sorry". Chase apologized as Michael gave him a smile.
"So?". Michael began as he turned to see him. "Did you cleared your mind?".
"Yeah". Chase nodded. "Being by myself helps me rethink stuff".
"That because your used to being alone. Now you have Zoey. Having her will help you, like you say rethink things, even better than your doing right now". Michael said which made Chase nod in agreement.
"Why don't you go in her room and talk about what happen tonight?". Michael suggested.
"I don't think NOW is a good time to talk". Chase said shaking his head. "She's sleeping right now and I dont want her to fight with me, so tomorrow when were more calmed, we'll talk".
"So your going to sleep here, on the couch? Because I told Logan to,have my room for the night". Michael said.
"I'm not that sleepy, so I'll just stay up until the movie ends, then I'll go inside Zoey's room and try to sleep". Chase lied.
"Cool! There's like 45 more minutes for the movie to end, and I could really use some company". Michael said as he stood up. "I'm bringing some popcorn. Want some?".
"Sure, why not". Chase smied and Michael nodded going into the kitchen. With Michael gone for a while, Chase placed himself comfortable on the couch as his eyes began to close. The only thing he didn't know was that behind him, a couple a feet way, Zoey watched him and quickly went over to him.
"Chase? Let's go to my room". Zoey whispered to him, but his eyes couldn't open up from his sleepiness.
"Come on Chase. You'll be more comfortable over here, with me". Zoey said as she began pulling him up. He sat up and stood up as Zoey leaded a half sleep Chase into her room.
A couple of seconds later Michael came out with two bolws of popcorn.
"Popcorn is here-". Michael announced but stopped as he noticed Chase gone.
"I'm taking to no one. What a surprise". Michael sarcastically said as he sat on the couch.
§§§§§§§§§§§§§
Zoey closed the door behind as Chase sat on the bed, giving a long yawn.
"We need to talk". Zoey said.
"Can we do that tomorrow?". Chase asked, rubbing his eyes.
"No we can't". Zoey said as she sighted. "Look Chase, tonight was a special day, because we got engaged and you left everything just to be with me, and I appreciate that, really. But we can't let Brian destroy this night by reminding you of stuff that happen years ago".
"So its true then!?. You and him had-". Chase began but Zoey quicky interrupted.
"No! That never happened". Zoey seriously told him and he stood up turning away. She knew taking about Brian was frustrating for him, but they needed to clear this out.
"I admit that we ... You know? Makeout, but we never, never, never, had intimacy". Zoey confessed which made him turn to see her. She turned away and smiled
"I wanted that moment to be special. I wanted to do it with the man of my dreams and...". Zoey stopped for a moment. "And that man was you. Yesterday night I completely gave my self to you".
Chase was stunned by her confession.
"So? You had nothing to do with Brian, after this couple of years of us being apart?".
"No". She turned to see him. "Do you believe me?".
Chase sighted and nodded.
"I do".
"You don't sound so convinced". Zoey said as she crossed her arms.
"Look, this is how I see it". Chase began "I love you, and I propose because I know I want to be with you the rest of my life. The very instant you agree to marry me, I managed to put the past behind and let tonight be a new start for us. But as we all saw, Brian came along, saying stuff, and I know that I shouldn't have overreacted about what he said, but I just couldn't control myself". Chase said as he looked down as his mind filled with guiltness.
"I'm sorry. And I understand if you feel disappointed".
Zoey gave him a small smile and went over to to him stealing a kiss from him. He raised his head up and looked at her confused.
"I believe you". She said as she leanned and kissed him, wrapping her arms around his neck.
